An Exceptional Wedding Planned in Just 30 Days – Perfect Venue, Perfect Day!

We had our wedding at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar Philadelphia, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The hotel staff are true professionals, guiding us through every step of the planning process with care and expertise.

Our vision came to life perfectly—a stress-free, seamless wedding that stayed within our budget. We planned everything in just 30 days, and our coordinator, Erin, was instrumental in making it all happen. We’re deeply grateful for her support and attention to detail.

The event spaces are stunning, with elegant, updated interiors set in a historic building in the heart of the city. The hotel offers two unique venues on the 24th and 25th floors. The 24th floor is ideal for a cocktail reception, while the 25th floor serves as the main space for the ceremony and banquet. There’s also a charming library-themed photo zone on the 25th floor, perfect for capturing beautiful wedding photos.

Our wedding package included a DJ and a custom wedding cake, both of which exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious, the guests were happy, and the bar service was exceptional, with bartenders crafting any cocktail we requested.

The pricing is reasonable for Center City Philadelphia, offering excellent value for the quality of service provided. As a lovely bonus, the hotel included a spacious two-room suite for us, along with a complimentary treat of chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne.

We highly recommend Hotel Palomar Philadelphia for weddings. It’s a beautiful venue with outstanding service, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice.

Great intimate wedding venue

We just had our 55 person wedding here this past weekend. We already knew the food was amazing, but our guests raved about its quality and also the level of service experienced while celebrating with us. Erin (catering manager) and her team went above and beyond to make our event memorable and as stress-free as possible. 100% would book here again!

I chose the Hotel Palomar because of their exemplary customer service. I was not disappointed. My wedding was absolutely wonderful and the food was outstanding! As a foodie, I particularly loved that the restaurant chef prepared all the meals and the food was locally sourced. Fabulous!

I gave 4 stars for value because there are a few other non-hotel venues that include some of the wedding extras (e.g. lighting, tables, linens etc.) in a comparably priced wedding package. However, I wouldn't have changed a thing. It was perfect :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Writing for Silver Sound DJs an endorsement for Hotel Palomar, I have had the experience of twice entertaining Hotel Palomar wedding receptions. This Hotel is very new and has a delightful modern style with a touch of the Art Deco style. The decorum and design is very sharp for a signature event, where you want to impress with very pleasant surroundings. The staff are friendly and helpful, they work in tandem towards a pleasing experience for the client and guests. I have also stayed at the Hotel as a guest, the Hotel rooms are of the highest quality, with super design and furnishings. I think this Hotel is one of Philadelphia's greatest secrets. I look forward to entertaining at the Hotel Palomar again. Paul Evans - President and Founder Silver Sound Entertainment.
